EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the architectural grandeur of The Woolworth Building, an iconic landmark located at 233 Broadway in Manhattan, New York City, USA. Designed by renowned architect Cass Gilbert and constructed between 1910 and 1912, this early skyscraper was a marvel of engineering and design during the 1910s. At the time of its completion, The Woolworth Building held the title as the tallest office building in the world, standing at a staggering height of 792 feet. The building's distinctive design features a richly decorated Gothic-Revival style base, which houses the lobby and ground floor retail spaces, and a sleek, tapering, steel-framed tower above. The building's most iconic feature is the large American flag that flies proudly from its roof, adding to its impressive silhouette against the New York City skyline. This photograph, taken circa 1913, captures the building in its early years, before the surrounding cityscape had fully developed. The image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the awe-inspiring impact The Woolworth Building had on the urban landscape of New York City and the world. With its timeless design and historical significance, The Woolworth Building remains a cherished symbol of American architectural innovation and ingenuity.
